lines are shown in table 4, figures 2 and 3. The ligand, HL<br />
(74.12-78.01µm) was about twice as resistant as CDDP<br />
(35.0µm) against Melanoma cells during the first 48h of<br />
experiment, while its resistance dropped by about 20% at<br />
72 h of exposure. In contrast, the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)<br />
and Zn(II) complexes showed no anti-tumor activity<br />
throughout the duration of experiment. It is important to
